DKiS at Last !!

[Dietrich Maerz]

You're right Adolph ..but Dietrich will tell you , Lisa is a great Girl and puts up with a lot

She sure is a very nice lady!

[mott5ranch]

Why on earth would you tell the wife???????

"Hi honey, check out my new German Cross I only spent $2500-$3500 dollars on . . . what do you think of it?"

Are you crazy? Don't get me wrong, get one if you can, get a Knights Cross if you can . . . . only after all bills are paid and the wife won't know if you dropped the cash for one.

My little lady would go bezerk if i had bought a new item, and she knew the real cost . . .not thinking of the investment opportunity, of course, She would only see the lost opportunity for shoes, clothes, and travel.

You need to have a seperate and very QUIET hidden account for the collection and emergencies . . if something major comes up then you can sell something from the collection and save the day . . . but no matter what, don't let the Frau know about the second business.

Verrry Shneeky !

Gary,

there is no way Mike could hide anything (even if he wanted too). The first thing tou see when you enter the house thru the front door is a bazooka and a huge radio set. And from there it becomes more and more...

Lisa is just a very understanding and loving women!

Thanks Dietrich ..and you're right, it's hard to fool her . But I still have a little rainy day fund put aside
I showed her the German Cross when it came in and ..her first comment was --
" For that much Money , shoudn't it be a lot bigger ?"
Gotta love it

Best regards to all you gentlemen and your understanding wives . . .

I love my lady as well . . .but I also know what to share with her. If it's about the cost of things, whether its an item for the ranch or my collection . . it's best to leave that one alone
I avoid that trauma and drama . . . then again I'd probably drop a brick if I knew what she spent on shoes, clothes and make-up other girly things.

Hello Mike,

Yes I did buy a couple of DKiG at the SOS.

I'd hate to take the spot-light away from your cross.

I'll consider posting them later, in their own thread.

Cheers,
Howard
